(serum gonadotropin and chorionic gonadotropin for injection)
For induction of estrus in prepuberal gilts and healthy weaned sows experiencing delayed return to estrus.
Indications
PREPUBERAL GILTS: P.G. 600 is indicated for induction of fertile estrus (heat) in healthy prepuberal (non-cycling) gilts over five and one-half months of age and weighing at least 85 kg (187 lb.).
SOWS AT WEANING: P.G. 600 is indicated for induction of estrus in healthy weaned sows experiencing delayed return to estrus.
Advantages
The Swine Reproductive Tool
- Combination of PMSG and hCG mimics naturally occurring reproductive hormones, FSH and LH
- Induces heat in prepuberal gilts and weaned sows experiencing delayed return to estrus
- 89% of sows treated with P.G. 600 exhibit signs of estrus within four to five days of weaning1
- Within 28 days of treatment, 72.9% of the gilts treated with P.G. 600 had been detected in heat compared with 59.5% of the non-treated gilts2
- Treatment with P.G. 600 increased the percentage of sows in estrus within seven (57.5 vs 40.9%) or 28 days (72.9 vs 59.5%); average interval to estrus was reduced (0.05 from 10.4 to 7.5 days)3
- Reduction of non-productive days reduces feed costs and improves pig flow, which leads to improved productivity
